Approved DLMS Change (ADC) 73,

Revision to DLMS Supplement 527R

Receipt, Inquiry, Response and MRA to provide for Current Functionality of the Materiel 

Receipt Acknowledgement Process (Supply/MILSTRAP)

1. ORIGINATOR: MaryJane Johnson, DLA J-673, Defense Logistics Management Standards 

Office (DLMSO), 703-767-0677 (DSN 427), maryjane_johnson@hq.dla.mil

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Supply 

3. REQUESTED CHANGE:

1. Title: Revision to DLMS Supplement 527R, Receipt, Inquiry, Response and MRA to 

Provide for Current Functionality of MILSTRAP Materiel Receipt Acknowledgement

(MRA) Process.

2. Description of Change: 

a. This change revises DS 527R to provide the capability to submit a MRA

transaction without a stock or part number in support of current MRA requirements. This change 

will also allow for MILSTRAP MRA transactions (Document Identifier (DI) Code DRA/DRB), 

which are submitted with a blank stock/part number field, to process in DLMS during a mixed 

DLSS/DLMS environment. 

b. This change also provides administrative note updates to allow flexibility for 

adding codes for DoD use.

3. Procedures: Revise DS 527R, Receipt, Inquiry, Response and MRA as follows:

Location Revision Reason Federal IC 

1

Add a Federal Note: “The following is a list of 

preferred codes.”

To allow flexibility 

for adding codes for 

DoD use.

MRA functionality 

and supports

conversion.

Federal IC 

revision 

recommended.

Add DLMS note to new qualifier ‘PR” as follows: 

" Use only with Materiel Receipt Acknowledgement 

transactions (1/BR02/020 Code TH) when stock or 

part number is unknown. Use:

(1) when the item being acknowledged cannot be 

identified (must also cite Discrepancy Indicator Code 

'A' in 2/LQ02/130) or 

(2) during DLSS to DLMS conversion when the stock 

or part number was blank in the associated DLSS 

Document Identifier Code DRA/DRB (this second use 

will be streamlined out once full DLMS 

implementation is reached)."

Supports current 

MRA functionality 

and supports 

DLSS/DLMS 

conversion.

No change.

cite 'Z' in LIN03 to satisfy ANSI syntax requirement. Supports current 

MRA functionality 

and supports

conversion.

4. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

a. This change is necessary to support intended DLMS functionality. DS 527R does not allow 

for the absence of a stock/part number. This conflicts with DoD 4000.25-2-M ( MILSTRAP) MRA

procedures which allow for leaving the stock/part number field blank as follows: “If the stock 

number/part number of the item received cannot be fully entered in record positions 8-22, leave 

blank. If item received exceeds stock number field and is wrong item or cannot be identified leave 

record positions 8-22 blank and enter Discrepancy Indicator Code A in record position 63.” This 

revision to DS 527R is necessary to accommodate this provision for a blank stock or part number 

field in DS 527R MRA transaction.

b. This change is necessary to support DLMS/DLSS conversion. The MILSTRAP MRA 

transaction, DI Codes DRA and DRB submitted with a blank stock/part number field cannot be 

converted to DS 527R until this change is implemented.

5. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Supports DLMS implementation

b. Disadvantages: None identified 

6. IMPACT: 

 a. Publications. Federal Implementation Convention 527R and corresponding DoD 4000.25-

M DLMS Supplement. All applicable revisions will submitted to the Federal IC.

 b. DAAS DLMS/DLSS conversion maps have been modified to incorporate above revision.
